Our test bench has seen a flood of Z68-based enthusiast motherboards this fall and ASRock added their flagship Z68 Extreme 7 Gen 3 board to the top of the pile for testing. The Extreme 7 Gen 3 pulls out all the stops for extreme enthusiasts and ultra overclockers by arming this board with next-gen PCI-E 3.0 support and an NVIDIA NF200 chip to allow users to run dual graphics cards at PCI-E x16/x16 mode and three graphics cards at x16/x8/x8 respectively.
The Z68 Extreme 7 Gen 3 motherboard was able to handle multiple types of tasks and operations that we evaluated during the benchmarking portion of this review. While the gaming results were a bit inconsistent, I was able to determine that this motherboard is a superior performer in several areas including CPU performance, overclocking, and general PC tasks.
I have a feeling that I was able to test the board with multiple graphics cards that I would have seen the truly gaming capabilities of this board.
